Today's blog comes from Alan Powell, and actor-care specialist and director based in London, England. I'm an Actor Care Specialist - I am not a therapist. My job is not to heal but to provide a safe and containing space to guide actors in creating solid boundaries between themselves and the characters they portray. I do this by expanding their self-awareness. The vehicle is the actorâs artistic expression. Without question their personal development is wrapped up inside that. If there is personal work to be done outside the work of character creation, I set the boundary and always sign post the actor. My responsibility as I see it, and why, on top of my directing career, I trained for years in psychotherapy and experiential techniques is to support the actorâs wellbeing before, during and after they dive deep into the characters they are embodying. This involves the ability and willingness to help reflect with the actor while they embody their characters. Itâs very personal and creative work but necessary for the serious, health-conscious actor who wants to grow with every role they perform, become emotionally stronger, more self-aware, and resilient in their craft.
